In the wind and snow all over the sky, the earth was wrapped in silver. Standing next to the roadside armored car in a thick fur coat, as if it were unmanuishable, Xi Yiyi, the commander of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army, who wrapped his head with a scarf, had just received the map handed over by the staff. A gust of wind blew, and the map flew into the sky. Several staff officers and dozens of soldiers chased the map funnyly, wearing heavy coats, like monkeys jumping and picking fruit.

Xiyi took a look at the troops who kept trotting beside him. There was a stove in the armored car, but there was still a thick layer of frost. The only thing that made him feel warm was the thick fur cushion. A small piece of dark red on the snow-white hair piece destroyed the overall beauty. It is said that this precious fur cushion is a family. The heirloom of the family killed the whole family for the subordinates of the third infantry brigade of Xiyi. Xiyiyi enjoyed the daughter and daughter-in-law of the family on this fur mat. The blood stain was left by one of the women's suicide, which also made Xiyi extremely annoyed and ordered the two women. He splashed water and froze to death, and then hung the body on the big tree at the head of the village to set an example. This is the end of not cooperating with the imperial army! Are you not ashamed of your evil deeds, but proud of them? He often showed off proudly and even wrote it in his diary. Years later, Xi Yiyi was very annoyed by his stupid behavior.

Soon, the people who went to chase the map returned in vain one after another. Looking at the staff of the big island who returned empty-handed, the short-handed Xiyi sighed helplessly: "Compared with the enemy of the imperial army, which has changed from the anti-Manchu army to bad weather and roads in China, why can't the Chinese people build their roads? Don't they know the important surname of the road? Maybe there is no money, right? What's the use of such a poor mountain and evil water?

Oshima Zhongzuo, who stood aside and stamped his feet, smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you don't know something, and it's not that you don't have money? Rehe's income from opium alone is 70 to 80 million yuan, which is almost equal to the commercial turnover of the four countries, but this income is put into the pockets of local military and political dignitaries.

A pair of Oshima Nakazo waved their hands and said, "Get in the car with me!" Although such an enemy is not worthy of respect and admiration, to be honest, I like it very much!"

In a burst of laughter, Oshima boarded the division commander's armored car in the envious eyes of his colleagues. Compared with the leaky truck on all sides, it was already a paradise.

It is not only the left wing of Xiyi, who is also struggling in the wind and snow. The right wing commanded by Banbenzheng Youweimen is also fighting against the cold. The attack of the Japanese army seems to have turned into a march. The collapse of various departments of the [***] team in the Rehe River has greatly unexpected the Japanese army. A large number of materials have been hoarded in Jinzhou. Waiting to be shipped to Chaoyang, before the materials arrived in Chaoyang, the news came that Chifeng had been captured, and the materials were directly delivered to Chengde, the only one stationed in [***].

Imamoto Masaemon, dressed in a leather coat, looked at the snow dust rising all over the sky and asked the combat staff beside him, "Where is the 10th Division now? Can the head of Hirose Shou's assistant have a call?

The combat staff officer, who was so cold that he couldn't speak fluently, saluted and said, "The last telegram was sent nine hours ago and is on the way to Chengde."

Banben Zhengyouweimen nodded and said, "The order is sent every ten minutes. Be sure to get in touch with the 10th Division and ask them to seize Chengde with all their strength and end the Battle of Rehe in glory!"

The left and right wings of Banben Zhengyouweimen and Xiyi completely abandoned the troops of the 16th Division Pumu, and sent the 10th Division Hirose Shouzhu and the troops of the 14th Division respectively, respectively, with the intention of taking advantage of the new defeat of the [***] team to seize Chengde Zhaochang Wuxun.

It can be said that not only the two left and right wing commanders, Banben Zhengyouweimen and Xiyi, are competing secretly, but also the commanders of the subordinate divisions are also secretly competing. This is the first battle of the army since World War I. The generals who captured Lushun in those years are old, and the military headquarters and the staff headquarters need to be fresh. Blood.

The performance in this battle is particularly crucial. The cooperation between the divisions on the left and right wings of the Japanese army has become an empty word. Whoever can take Chengde first means that who can win the biggest lottery in this battle!

Just as the 10th Division and the 14th Division of the Japanese Army went straight to Chengde at night, Zhang Xuewu accidentally received two armored trains that had not yet left at Chengde Station. There are indeed 17 different models and functional uses recorded by the Eastern and East and Northeast Army, most of which are simple armed transport trains. The basic way is to add a gun truck with sandbags and armor plates to the front and tail of the tractor. The gun and tractor have no armor protection. Add an unmanned truck to the front to prevent mine explosion and protect the front of the tractor.

The relatively few transport warning dual-purpose trains are basically close to the concept of light armored trains in Europe. These armored trains are even loaded with tank armored vehicles to provide rotating firepower for defense and self-defense, or to hang the Renault FT-17 light tank modified railway patrol cars. The front end of the train is equipped with roadblock removal shovels and mine detonators, but compared with the heavy armored trains made by the Soviet Union and Germany, the armored trains equipped by the Northeast Army seem to be too simple.

However, it is much better than none. In particular, the two armored trains are equipped with two fronts and two 75mm guns. There is a semi-enclosed anti-aircraft gun position on the rear support plate, with a 20mm Swedish "Amnon" anti-aircraft gun, and a Renault FT-17 light tank at the rear. Firepower point.

Zhang Xuewu's headquarters in the women's lieutenant colonel was less than 200 meters away from the railway line, so the two armored trains were parked near the school to be disguised and ready to serve as Zhang Xuewu's mobile command post.

After checking the condition of the armored train, Zhang Xuewu looked at Li Xinkai, who seemed to be worried, and smiled, "What are you afraid of? There must be a road in front of the mountain, and the water will naturally go straight to the bridge! The soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to Tutun!"

Li Xin glanced at Huang Tao, who climbed up and down in the armored train, and said to Zhang Xuewu, "Master, at present, there is only one lonely army as our new first division in Rehe. I'm afraid that the political axe in Nanjing doesn't know that the collapse of the war is far more serious than they expected. Well, our new first division is blocked here, and the Japanese army is sharp. This is simply feeding the wolf!"

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said, "In 1927, Prime Minister Tanaka Yoshiichi's cabinet held an Eastern Conference and formulated the Policy Outline for China." The core is to first separate Mancheng from China, and then further expand to mainland China with Mancheng as the base. After the meeting, Tanaka put forward the invasion expansion program of "If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchsia. If you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer China", thus pushing the mainland policy of Japan's foreign aggression to a new stage. It is said that this heavy invasion of our Rehe is only a step in its long-planned strategy. It is said that I am not just as simple as launching an invasion. Their ultimate goal is to destroy our China and destroy our nation! If we still want to leave a clear sky for future generations so that they (they) can live with dignity, we must swear to resist today. Even an inch of mountains and rivers will turn into an inch of flesh and blood, and even a piece of scorched earth will not hesitate to kill and injure countless people!"

Li Xinkai was slightly stunned and said, "Even if I win, I'm afraid it's a tragic victory. What's the point?"

Zhang Xuewu patted Li Xinkai on the shoulder and said, "In order to live with dignity, everything is worth it!"
